The ~cocoanut is in many respects Ike
the human skull, although II closely IT,.
sembles the skull Of the monkey. a
sponge may be so held as To remind one
of the unfleshed face Of the skeleton. and
the meat of an English walnut is almost
the exact representation of the BRAIN.
Plums and black cherries resemble the
human eyes; almonds and some other
nuts resemble the different varieties OF
the human nose. and an open oyster and
its shell are a perfect imagcof the human
ear.
The shape of almost any mans body
may he found in the various kinds Of
mammoth pumpkins. The oren hand
may be discerned in the form assumed
by scrub willows and growing celery.
The German turnip and the egg plant
resemble the human heart. There are
other striking resemblances between hu.
man organs and certain vegetable forms.
The forms of many mechanical contriv.
ances in common Use may be traced back
to the patterns furnished by nature.
Thus, the hog suggested the plow: the
butterfly, the ordinary hinge; the toad.
stool. the umbrella: the duck. the slip,
the fungous growth on trees, the bracket.
